I like Bullseye but one thing annoys me about him....


....in the this show and the comics....he has no powers yet he has an "uncanny" ability to throw objects. In the comics he has throw toothpicks as deadly weapons and as far as I know he is listed as having no powers. Haven't read the comics in a long whole but there has to be some type of abnormal ability there. It's just too much of a stretch that just a plain regular FBI agent beat Matt to a bloody pulp. I know except for Matt's increased senses he's not much than a skilled fighter but still I would have liked to see a bit more balanced backstory to bullseye...otherwise great season...

They mentioned Dex was in the military before going to the FBI so he has more training than your average agent. Also, if you notice, Matt outfought Bullseye a few times but he always managed to grab something and use it as a weapon. In the church scene, there were several times where Matt almost had Bullseye but then he got distracted by someone. It was like he had ADHD.

If Dex as a child could kill a grown man with a ricocheted baseball, he's clearly not normal.

Then again, neither is Clint Barton in the MCU, or Black Widow. Rhodes unarmored can shoot as well as ... John McClane or Martin Riggs, come to think of it.

I guess they're comic-book movies, so however grounded they appear to be, their characters can display inhuman skills without having "powers."

Yeah I get that. Than that means any normal human if trained properly can fight Daredevil and beat him. Daredevil has improved senses that also give him great agility. I do also have the same problem with Hawkeye and Balck Widow. They seem to be able to take more punishment from superpowered villians than other humans.
